Over $250,000 in Grants Available from THCF in 2020
Truman Heartland Community Foundation (THCF) welcomes nonprofit organizations located in or serving citizens of Eastern Jackson County to request funding for 2020. Approximately $125,000 is available through the Community Grants Program with an additional $125,000 from the Jelley Family Foundation Endowment for Children’s Education Fund. Truman Heartland Community Foundation works in partnership with nonprofits that share their passion and vision of improving area communities. Truman Heartland’s grants are considered investments in the community. Proposals should reflect the most positive impact on the community to the grants committee, which consists of representatives from the Community Foundation’s Board of Directors and Advisory Boards. Jelley Family Foundation grant seekers must submit their applications by Monday, March 16, 2020. Community Grant seekers must submit their applications by Monday, April 6, 2020. Applicants may apply for both the Community Grants program and the Jelley Family Foundation Endowment for Children’s Education, but not with the same proposal. Programs are eligible for funding for up to three consecutive years. After three years of funding have been awarded for the same program, that program becomes ineligible for one year. Applicants are still eligible to submit proposals for different programs. Exceptions to this rule will be evaluated
on a case-by-case basis.
